Increasingphilanthropic support for U.S. athletes is one of the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee’s (USOPC) highest strategic priorities and hence, the organization has established the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Foundation (USOPF) as the fundraising organization for the USOPC and is investing significant resources in its Developmentdivision.

Anonprofit organization, the USOPCis one of the only National Olympic& Paralympic Committees in the world that does not receive government funding for its Olympic& Paralympicprograms, instead relying on the generosity of a committed community ofdonors and sponsors.

Over the next decade, the United States will host two historic global moments: the Olympic and Paralympic Games Los Angeles 2028 and the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Utah
2034.These once-in-a-generation milestones place Team USA at the center of the world’s attention and present an extraordinary opportunity to strengthen the future of American sport.

As national excitement for the Olympic and Paralympic movements accelerates, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation plays a critical role in transforming the athlete journey for the next generation. Through strategic philanthropy and sustained investment, we ensure that Team USA athletes receive the resources, care, and support they need to thriveonthe field of play and beyond. Our ultimate goalis to ensure that the nation’s very best athletes choose to compete for Team USA, confident that the services, benefits, and long-term support we provide make that choice both inspiring and sustainable.
